Jim Rogers, a commodities guru and creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index, gave an interview to businessweek, giving his assessment of the ever rising gold price.

Jim Rogers Gold price prediction

Jim Rogers expects it to be over a couple thousand dollars an ounce sometime in the next decade.

Jim Rogers on what is driving the price of gold

  • Demand from Central Banks, central banks which were selling gold a few years ago are now buying.
  • The US Fiscal & Monetary Deficit – Throughout history, printing money has led to weaker currencies and higher prices for real assets.
  • The Herd Mentality – Everyone is bullish about Gold and this is enough reason to drive prices up.

Read the whole Jim Rogers interview at this businessweek article.

The common wisdom was that the stock market mirrored the economy. If the economy is on an upswing the stock market went up.

But looking at US data, a strange thing is happening. The buoyant S&P 500 has risen 53 percent since the March bottom while the economy  has remained flat.

An article in slate.com explains this anomaly.

For much of the past two years, virtually all growth in economic activity has taken place outside America’s borders. As a result, U.S.-based companies are becoming even more reliant on non-U.S. customers and operations for sales.

Globalization is changing the way we do business. It’s not a matter of U.S. companies exporting goods—burgers, soda, cars, software—made in the United States to Beijing but rather, making goods overseas and selling them overseas.

The US economy might be flat but the rest of the world economy is growing fueling growth for American companies with overseas subsidiaries. That explains why American companies may report higher profits despite the US economy slowing
